In South Africa, like in many other regions, regulations such as the South African National Standards (SANS) dictate strict guidelines for handling biohazard waste disposal.

Proper medical waste disposal not only safeguards the environment but also ensures safe working conditions within healthcare facilities. Inadequate disposal can lead to dangerous scenarios, including the spread of infectious diseases and occupational hazards for healthcare professionals who handle sharps containers and biohazard containers daily.
